"They keep on writin' these yeller xiv
erd novels, see"
The speaker was quaint old man
from the country, who stood in front of
the counter of an old book stall on Park
Row, regarding lot of cheap romances
that was displayed there.
Used to read EN- as fast as they come
out when | was boy" unused the old
man. "Hain't tackled one in about forty
year, guess. Gittin' marrd and raisin'
hull passle of children, sort o knocks
the romance outen a Teller, don't itT'
The boss, to whom his remarks were
directed, said he supposed it did.
81 used ter sit up till long arter mid
night" continued the old man, "readin'
'Ogarita; or The Tragedy of the False
Eyebrow Mysteries of the Castle of
San Juan del Bootjack. and things like
that. But say, do the novels continue
to run as they used tor
Pretty much the same old thing, |
guess"
"Pshawl You don't say? Then the
herewine cries, finland me, vilainl or
by me fathers great horned spoons. III

That's the way it goes"
"Well, | declare. And when the viii
lain, who isn't in the unhanding bust
ness, refuses to release her on her own
recognizance, she shrieks the name of
'Gonraldo,' who is her lover, and flies to
her rescue"
You have got it down pat"
81 thought so. And the pirate yarns,
too Do they still skim the bright blue
sea in rakish loOkin' schOoncrs five cents
a schooner, hull painted black, with a
narrer streak of red runnin' around the
sidcs?'
Il guess So"
And the pirates bride-methinks |
see her now, standin' at the door of the
powder magazine with lighted torch
in her hand. which she threatens to ap-
ply if her husband, the captain, makes
the handsome captive walk the plank.
Hold! Gomez de Rutabaga,' she cries,
touch but hair of that fair Youths
head, and ! will blow thee and thy muir
derOus crew to the weepin stars, and
send thy cruel bark to the shriekin'

What a memory you have gOtr'
"And the pirates cave. Same old

Pretty much. But they light it with
electricity now"
you don't say! Street cars runnin'
between the cave and the dock, per
haps?"
Yes; and telephone connects the
cave with the signal station, to warn
them of approaching danger"
well" said the old man, I'VE must
expect some changes in forty years. But
| guess the novel is about the same old
things nigh as they can get at it"
And with lingering, saddened look
at the yellow kivers' that had called
up visions of romantic past, the old
man logged along.-Teras SifIiRgS.

French market women used to go to the
Paris fish-maTket with a curious kind of
basket that suggested all sorts of artistic
possibilities The florist was quick to
seize upon the basket, and now the most
fashionable as well as the most artistic
floral piece known is this French fish
basket filled with flowing orchids, hung
round with maiden-hair and valenCies
ferns. 1t used to be that cOlOrs were
mixed in, but only one or at most two
colOTs are ever seen now among people
who affect to know what is correct in
flowers. Orchids are by odds the favor
ties, and when the azaleas are in bloom
no artist could dream of finer color effect
than this massing of the nodding, dreamy
flower. Chinese -primroses and some
times growing plants help to transform
q prosaic tish-basket into garden of
beauty. Mrs. Vanderbilts basket of
Cornelia roses that the artist sketched
above was only fish basket-but such
a one!
1t is queer thing how a new rose
comes to be born Did you ever hear2
1t is this way: Some enthusiast hides
himself away in his greenhouse with a
male and female rose. He watches
them for months or years, carefully, jeal
ously, insanely almost, and finally, at
the moment of most perfect efilorescence,
he marries them and takes the seed. Ten
thousand failures follow, but at last he
produces a new flower and his fortune is
made.
Just now La France, glorious pale
pink rose, is the favorite, but the Anna

entitled Hours at the Central Station"
in which Judge Harbaugh, and the court
officer, Abijah JOY, appeared, under the
names of His Honor and Obi jah," as
the principal actors in series of scenes
mostly imaginary, and wholly humorous,
which raised smile from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Curiously enough, some
of these comic sketches were copied in
the London Times, the Pail Mall Gazette,
and other English papers, as being gen
uine Illustrations of contemporary man
ners in America.
Lewis was now promoted, and dis
patched to his old home at Lansing to
report the proceedings of the Michigan
legislature. But here NJ. Quad was out
of his line, and the gorgeous raiment of
exaggeration and romance with which
he invested the prosaic proceedings of
the Michigan Solons failed to please his
unappreciative managers, who speedily
recalled their too imaginative CORE
spondent.
NJ. Quad's next idea proved to be the
greatest of all his successes. 1t was the
Lime Kiln Club, weekly report Of
the meeting of an iw"~ .. self-im-
provement club of colored citizens.
''Brudder Gardner" as president of the
club, gives utterance to many gem of
dry and humorous philosophy, and has
become familiar character all over the
country A darky in Memphis, Tenn,
on one occasion wrote to Northern pa
per inquiring the cost of an advertise
ment for missing relatives, and stated
that he had taken the advice of Brother
Gardner on the subject,
Besides his work on the Free Press,
Mr.. Lewis has produced a great deal
of miscellaneous literature. He con
tributed the weird and pathetic BLACK
Hill Sketches to the Cincinnati En-
guir6r, and has done a quantity of less
noteworthy pen-driving.
When his first contract with the Free
Press expired, he received some tempt
ing offers from. other quarters, but he
could not be induced to leave the city
where he first won fame.
He still lives there, dividing his time
between his little office in the Free Press
building, and his pleasant home on
Pitcher Street.
In 1882 he made Southern tonr, visit
ing Charleston, Atlanta, Chattanooga,
and other cities, and collecting material
for series of war sketches, published
in the Free Press
In person Mr. Lewis is rather slender
ly built, with an earnest and somewhat
harrassed expression of face. He is a
FreemasOn: strange to say, he takes lit
tie interest in politics. All who know
him bear witness to his even and amiable
temperament, which has some of the
pardonable eccentricities of genius. His
pen has gained for the journal to which
he belongs national reputation-and
more than this, for the Free Press has a
fOurishing branch in London, with an
Office in the Strand-and yet Mr.. Lewis
is the most modest man on the staff.
He has many friends and few enemies
kind heart, and an open hand.

Time was, and not so long ago, either,
when all we asked of our florist was that

Now our orders are as explicit as if a
new gown were in consideration and as
much attention is paid to the arrange
ment as if it were a house and not a floral
piece we were bargaining for.
Klunder-who, by the way, is one of
the institutions of New York like Del
monicO or the elevated road-was telling
me the other day about the pains he went
to import or invent new and artistic de-
signs and to get perfect flowers. His
place up in Broadway, No. 907, is like a
studio with its quaint baskets and odd
arrangements. Formerly we used to get
most of our ideas from abroad. Now
American taste is asserting itself, and
the ladies of New York are actually set
ting an example and having their ideas
adopted in London and Paris. 1t queer,

NEW THINGS INFLoWERs.


want to write word about flowers.
The newspapers are so full Of accounts
of divorces and Doodle Aldermen and
politics that somehow the pretty things
in life that lie close at hand get over
looked. And yet it seems as II these
things that enter so closely into our daily
life ought to get line now and then.
Away back in the primeval forests,
when Minnehaha's Indian lover came to
tell her that story that has always been
the sweetest thing that maiden ever
hears, he brought a blossom from the
woods with him Somehow, in his
vague, savage way, he felt that the per
fume of It's petals could say more to the
girlish heart than words of his. And
for centuries before it was so and in cent
uries yet to come it will always be the
same.

The Public Career OF Ju.Ise ". o. Gresha

Judge Walter q. Gresham, whose ia
nous recent decision, by single blow,
paralyzed the arm of railroad monopoly,
is SO years old. He was 81 when he was
elected to the Indiana legislature, and as
chairman of the military committee of
the lower house began to fit out the In
diana troops. He was % when he be-
came Northumberland of the Thirty
eighth Indiana Infantry, 30 when he be-
came colonel of the Indiana Fifty-third,
and 80 when Grant lifted him from the
trenches at Vicksburg and put a briga-
dier's star on his shoulder. 1t was a
high compliment and cordial recOgni-
ton of valued and most valuable ser
vices. Nobody ever yet except his most
intimate friends, ever led Gresham to
tell about his service as a soldier. That
is a subject he tabOOes so FAR as it re-
lates to himself but he never tires of
talking war" to comrades.
After Vicksburg Gen. Gresham was in
command of division of Frank Blair's
corps and went with the great army to
Atlanta. In the battles about that point
he was grieyously wounded. He caught
a vicious bullet in the left leg, just be-
low the knee, and it incapacitated him
for further service. For more than a
year he was laid up at his home in New
Albany, Ind, and by the time he was re-
covered the war had ended In 1865 he
was brevetted major-general, and being
mustered out, began the practice of law
at New Albany. In 1866 Gresham was
appointed to represent the State of In
diana in New York, his duties being a
kind of fiscal agent to pay the interest
on the State debt.
When in 1869 Gen. Grant became
president one of his first thoughts was
of his young hero of the Vicksburg

When you in these modern days tell
her your own story, and when in after
years you two bend together to lay a
farewell kiss on cold, baby lips-yours
and hers-flowers, always flowers, alone
are welcome. No Joy is too great, no
grief too sacred for their ministration.
OF course. here in New York we have
gotten far past the Minnehaha stage of
flower giving. We have learned to tell
Jacqueminot from Murmett and have
grown rightly fastidious in our choice
Some of the old Dutch blood that spent
fortunes in tulip culture runs in our
veins still, and with an increased fond
ness for flowers we have learned to de-
mand perfection that other cities have
not dreamed of yet. Our roses are the
finest in the world and our arrangement
of them the most artistic. But it is only
lately we have learned all this.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April l3.-Dayfd
Appich, Esq, perhaps the Oldest OF our
active merchants, died this morning
from the effects of fall, after a con-
finement to his house of few days.
He was born in Germany in the early
Part Of this century, and emigrated to
this country when young man, setting
up q bakery and confectionery here
three-score years ago, and continuing
the latter until his death. He did
much towards building up the town,
and generally respected and esteem
ed. He leaves two sons and three
daughters, all grewn and well-to-do.
Mr.. George w. Boyer died last night
aged seventy years.
During the Easter gambols OF some
bows on the Fairfax side of the river, IN
the vicinity Of the Little Falls, several
miles above Georgetown, they kindled
fire and leftit. At night the dense woods
were ablaze and the inhabitants of the
neighborhood terribly affrighted. About
one hundred acres were burned over,
entsihng a considerable loss. The
place is owned by a Dutchman named
Tanderwinkle, and is favOrite resort
for boating parties and anglers.
At q conference between the agents
in this section for the foreign bond
holders held here this evening arrange
ments we're perfected for the payment
in coupons OF licenses, including those
of bar-rooms and retail liquor stores.
1t was determined that persons doing
such businesses be furnished with the
bonds with coupons attached, thereby
fulfilling all the requirements Of the
State laws. Mr.. Vashon, OF Richmond
arrived here this evening with, it ii
stated, $4,000 in State bonds.
